Overview:

"The Bit Between The Teeth" - - On 17th September, the invasion of the Red Army, under the German-Soviet Pact brought the coup de grace to the Polish resistance. The only salvation available to Polish soldiers lay to the south where entering neutral Hungary or Romania could allow them to continue the struggle. To get there however meant breaking through German and Soviet troops. The group formed by General Anders, from the debris of multiple units sought security in Hungary, but first had to evade German forces to the west and south, particularly the 28th Infantry Division, and from the east, soldiers from the 1st Ukrainian Front with several armoured car brigades and divisions equipped with cavalry tanks. Against this overwhelming power, the Polish could field cavalry, lacking heavy weapons, no tanks and no planes. On the 26th, Anders men had to face both the Russians and the Germans as they continued to advance south.
